taking-action

You don't need to wish harder, you need to work harder.

For peace read books, for success read books and take actions.

Practice patience to get the results but don't be much patient to take actions.

Everyone who has ever taken a shower has had an idea. It's theperson who gets out of the shower, dries off, and does somethingabout it that makes a difference.

Thinking before taking actions is useful only if you are going to take action, otherwise you are wasting time and insulting your mind.

True leaders don't give consoling answers, they take constructive actions.

They will cry, he will shout but you must sweat.

Stop waiting for someone else to run your life. Get into the driver's seat and choose your destination.

When everyone is hungry and waiting _ when things need doing urgently and the clock is ticking - it__ often wiser to get cooking and present a ready-made dish they__l find tasty to eat rather than getting everyone involved in deciding on the recipe.

In leadership, life and all things it__ far wiser to judge people by their deeds than their speech - their track record rather than their talk_ _ Rasheed Ogunlaru

If given a choice between a potentially great hardship and doing nothing, people gravitate toward what was most familiar and comfortable. That was why leadership was needed. To do what was necessary rather than what was easy.

If you have strength of character, you can use that as fuel to not only be a survivor but to transcend simply being a survivor, use an internal alchemy to turn something rotten and horrible into gold.

The real destination lies in step taking!

Inspiration is a spark. It is nothing unless we use it to build a fire.

All I ask is this: Do something. Try something. Speaking out, showing up, writing a letter, a check, a strongly worded e-mail. Pick a cause _ there are few unworthy ones. And nudge yourself past the brink of tacit support to action. Once a month, once a year, or just once...Even just learning enough about a subject so you can speak against an opponent eloquently makes you an unusual personage. Start with that. Any one of you would have cried out, would have intervened, had you been in that crowd in Bashiqa. Well thanks to digital technology, you__e all in it now.

Each daily task, is but the future in a mask.

Knowledge is not the same as wisdom. You can know all the facts and still not be able to act wisely. But without knowledge, it is harder to be wise __ even if what wisdom tells us is that knowledge is very often provisional and that we cannot wait to have certainty about every fact before we act.

I now think it takes more faith to name our need than to keep believing that something will happen and not doing anything about it. It takes faith, and great courage, to get help, to take the first painful step toward the dream that is in our hearts...I know now that you can look at bricks and cement for years, believing in the vision of a home, but until you get down on your hands and knees and start to build, it will remain a dream.
